But already, the Dems are walking things back. Trump needs to step up now and go on offense. As AoS notes, Dems can't name a crime that Trump committed, but most of us can rattle off various statutes violated by Hillary, her staff, and other Democrats. They wanted special prosecutors, reach across the aisle and give them what they wanted.Lelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531159384688653131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-53774500789186714222017-05-18T17:31:07.302-04:002017-05-18T17:31:07.302-04:00What pisses me off is Trump makes things worse.

Sure the dems and media would have still tried to make hay of it, but it would have been way less than what went down. <br /><br />Instead Trump flailed around like a retard, throwing his staff under the bus and driving the media crazy. He needs not to rise to the bait. I bet the brew ha ha over Comey is what led Rosenstein to go special prosecutor. Maybe Rosenstein would have done it anyway, but I doubt it. <br /><br />That is the part that drives me crazy, the lack of discipline at Team Trump. He has his core advisors he can trust Hope, Ivanka, Jared (they are not the ones leaking). Dump Reince and bring in Newt. Evi L.

Haz notes a long list of real crimes that have supporting evidence that something did occur, but our elected officials pretend there is not enough there. Dems believe Trump stole the election, they have no evidence for their belief, but damn if they aren't acting on their belief. Now that they shot their wad; time for us to fire back and act on what is known. If Special Counsels are a good idea; then expect more to come. Scratch that, demand that more be appointed, tell the GOP squish that if they want a chance in 2018, whenever they see a microphone, they better name at least 3 scandals to be investigated by a prosecutor over the next year. Tell any potential primary opponent to name 5. It's not hard, Haz rattled off 6 of them.<br /><br />And watch them. Already stories are going up that no serious people believe Trump will be impeached. Sure, and none of those serious people are out calling Maxine Waters for suggesting it. So don't let them get away with being a squish.Lelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531159384688653131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-72497512096673448712017-05-18T13:02:24.238-04:002017-05-18T13:02:24.238-04:00I'm telling you all that killing these piece o...I'm telling you all that killing these piece of shit democrats would have been preferable to this horseshit.

He now has all the rational needed to have his DOJ open up investigations into all the things mentioned by Haz and more. After all; there is evidence that US citizens were unmasked in intelligence surveillance. There is evidence that classified information ended up on the laptop of a Hillary Clinton aide. And I'm sure Trump knows a few things to upset a couple of NE politicians at the state level. If it is fair game to investigate every charge, then open the flood gates. Heck start with voting irregularities in Pennsylvania (<a href="http://r.duckduckgo.com/l/?kh=-1&uddg=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbsnews.com%2Fnews%2Fvoting-problems-in-pennsylvania%2F" rel="nofollow">2008</a> and <a href="http://r.duckduckgo.com/l/?kh=-1&uddg=http%3A%2F%2Fpittsburgh.cbslocal.com%2F2016%2F11%2F08%2Fsome-problems-reported-as-voters-head-to-polls%2F" rel="nofollow">2016</a>).<br /><br />Look, prior to the election, people openly stated that some Trump voters were motivated by the notion of just burning it all down. I realize not everybody, certainly not all Trump voters, actually felt that way. But a significant number did. Exactly how would such an event look? I think we have our answer. Politically speaking, Democrats just threw a match onto a powder keg in much the way Wile E Coyote might do so.<br /><br />That said, Sessions was probably a poor choice for AG in this instance. Trump may have the instinct, but not Sessions.<br /><br />So disregard my statement.Lelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531159384688653131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-27612684836395795212017-05-18T07:09:34.134-04:002017-05-18T07:09:34.134-04:00Troop, This ain't NY and he ain't a real ...Troop, This ain't NY and he ain't a real estate guy anymore.
